Xmas
Someone told me yesterday that it feels like Christmas. I know what it means and don't want to think about it.
But the little pomegranate tree in my garden seems to agree!

You have a pomegranate tree? Wow... I'm envious! They're selling for about $3 CAD each here, I think... Had one on the weekend... The juice went everywhere and stained my shirt... but it was worth it.
Hey, dig this:
I have a pomegranate tree AND an e-bay seller account. Interested?
(Although I have never sold anything, so my reputation is probably somewhere between "never heard of him" and "you talkin' to me?")
PS. I am joking of course. Actually the tree is just over two years old. The first year it only produced one fruit. This year nothing! But someone told me that next year it should be full of them. We'll see...
Don’t sell it. I like thinking of you, after dark, and your pomegranate, encircled in light, like so many little stars, but here on earth. Those white lights are classy.
Meanwhile, in my neighborhood, all the trees were recently pruned, and completely denuded. The streets are treeless, but some of the neighbors have put some lights, up high, on balconies. Some of them are shaped like trees.
And in another neighborhood, in Berkley, I’m told, a modest Greek family decided to put some tasteful Christmas lights around their house, only to be told by the neighbors that it was offensive -- to declare themselves so openly to be Christians.
I’m not sure which is the cliché.
But since we are so good at semiotics around here, I wonder what this means: YOY SAT THE BOAT. (It's sth I saw last night. Irrelevant, possibly.)
Alas...I doubt it would survive in Calgary (which is why they can sell the fruit for exorbidant prices once a year...)
